Family Portrait Reviews
InSession Film
Hector A. Gonzalez
It is both discrete and evocative in its storytelling procedure. But Kerr ensures she packs strong visuals and metaphors along the seventy-five-minute tale that enriches the story even with its reticence.
Hollywood Reporter
Jordan Mintzer
Quietly disquieting.
In Review Online
Jesse Catherine Webber
Kerr is unlikely to attract anyone put off by the very idea of a Covid movie. Though familiar tropes are avoided... Family Portrait is fundamentally still a look back at a traumatic time from which our present is not yet fully removed.
Truthdig
Siddhant Adlakha
A deeply unsettling directorial debut, "Family Portrait" foregrounds lingering discomfort against a comfortable backdrop, and enhances its unspoken anxieties by poking and prodding at its protagonist.
Filmmaker Magazine
Vadim Rizov
Exhibiting compositional poise both in its static and moving shots, Family Portrait attempts a leap from the mildly inexplicable to the fully oneiric in its final section. The gear shift doesn't come off, but the impulse is laudable.
Film Threat
Abhishek Sharma
Kerr's directorial debut is an off-genre feature that tells a family drama, though it is set up as a thriller while garnished with the vibes of a mystery.
RogerEbert.com
Marya E. Gates
Kerr's approach at times feels a bit too distant, but if she aims to be as vague as the emotions you can interpret from a still photograph, then she succeeds.
Slant Magazine
William Repass
Family Portrait stands out for its profound mistrust, not just of images but of the sense of sight altogether.
The Film Stage
Savina Petkova
It's easy to see Family Portrait as a film about familial dynamics (all of which are similarly complex) and a snapshot of an erratic day (all of which are, when the family gathers), but Kerr unearths something buried much deeper.
Hey, Have You Seen ...?
Jared Mobarak
That so much of what's said and done is hollow makes the notion that it will still be grieved after it's gone more potent. In the end, these horrible days that feel more like work than vacation will be missed.
Collider
Chase Hutchinson
Too often, the imagery in films we take in can end up being merely consumed rather than considered. Kerr invites us to do more considering, letting us watch as the already troubled Katy begins to wander from her family and, potentially, even life itself.
Screen Rant
Grant Hermanns
Lucy Kerr's directorial debut Family Portrait offers a uniquely bizarre and tense take on family gatherings, even if it meanders a bit too much.
Variety
Carlos Aguilar
While free-floating and airy in its construction, the film's deceiving familiarity slowly erodes, morphing into an unsettling, formally astute brain-tickler
Paste Magazine
Katarina Docalovich
Closely choreographed chaos paired with a harsh soundscape... ushers us into an enigmatic story of a family on the brink of unraveling.
Film Inquiry
Lee Jutton
It's hard to think of a film that better captures the underlying sense of menace seeping into the monotony of everyday life that characterized the early days of the pandemic.
LA Weekly/Village Voice
Michael Atkinson
With a soundtrack that rises and falls in an ambient bolero of distorted machine noise, and acting that can bronze-cast a character with just a glance, it's the alchemical little movie that could, and one of the year's best.
RogerEbert.com
Brian Tallerico
It's a foreboding film, a drama that recreates the sense that something bad is going to happen or may have happened already.
Daily Grindhouse
Katelyn Nelson
Lucy Kerr's stunning feature debut...rapidly but silently dissolves into almost anxiety-inducing levels of understated chaos...The atmosphere of Family Portrait is beautifully stifling.
InSession Film
Zita Short
This playful, totally unfettered quality extends to Kerr's morally ambiguous, occasionally discomfiting consideration of the natural landscape that surrounds the family and the effect that it has on their behavior.
But Why Tho? A Geek Community
Kate Sánchez
Family Portrait is a smart film. The uncertainty of the film's ending will either resonate with you or it won't. You'll fill the emptiness with your experience, or you'll just leave it hollow. It's really up to you.
